This smaller release focuses on smaller improvements & quality of life enhancements based on our early adopters feedback.
We’re excited to introduce a new Quick Find search to assist users in getting to the content they need, more quickly. This is especially useful in larger courses where the course index menu might be incredibly long, meaning users can have trouble finding certain activities or resources.
We’ve focussed on a few quality of life improvements too, especially around the handling of images uploaded to topics and activity tiles. Additional parameters and new settings provide more control for course editors, allowing for flexibility in image sizes uploaded.
We welcome any feedback on this release and hope you and your users enjoy the enhancements.

A note from Edd Clementson, Product lead at Titus
We’ve worked on this smaller v1.1 release to ensure customer feedback was heard and responded too. This release is mostly smaller changes, again introducing a few new settings and adjustments to existing settings once again to provide more flexibility within a course.
The only larger feature is the new ‘Quick find;’ search bar that we’ve introduced to topic & sub-topic pages. We’ve spent a lot of development effort on our self serve mechanism in the form of the learning library, helping users find relevant courses in the most effective we way; however finding specific course resources can still be tricky in larger courses. For this reason the new ‘Quick find’ search allows users to more easily find activities or topics based on their name by typing into the live search bar present on topics and sub-topic pages.
We hope you enjoy this smaller release and as always welcome any feedback you have.
With thanks to the team who worked on this release:

Empower learners to self-direct their learning and significantly improve usability and learner experience by enabling the new ‘Quick find’ search bar.
Allow users to interact with a live search bar to more easily find topics, sub-topics or activities based on the search terms entered. For larger courses, finding specific resources can be tricky, even using the course index menu; but with the new Quick Find search you can streamline searching on the course home, topics pages and sub-topics pages.
Reduce ‘clicks’ for learners by enabling the ‘direct link to activity setting on a topic/sub-topic level.
When this setting is enabled, when out of edit mode, users who click to access the topic/sub-topic either within the course area or from the course index menu; will be taken directly into the activity in this area.
This should reduce frustrations for users in courses that are built using singular activities per topic such as SCORM packages.
Introducing 3 changes to how images can be handled when uploaded to topics and activities. Firstly we’ve added an option for ‘Center’ alignment to the ‘Tile image position setting’. Secondly we’ve introduced a new setting for ‘Tile image object-fit’ to allow editors to choose how images fit inside the available space. Thirdly we’ve introduced topic & activity level settings for these 2 parameters, to override the course defaults if needed.
